Critical reception
Awarding the album three and a half stars from Alternative Press , Tyler Sharp writes, "Coward tends to lack an overall sense of cohesion, creating a slight disconnect for the listener, yet doesn’t hold the band back from creating arguably some of their most profound material to date, in bouts of progressive, titan metalcore." [1] Timothy Estabrooks, giving the album three and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "Unfortunately, the results are as mixed as the band itself ... Foundationally, Coward is as solid as you would expect from a veteran band." [4] Indicating in a four star review by HM Magazine , Taylor Boyce says, "It's as aggressive as any of their previous releases, and their keen ability to craft well-written songs with an ear for the listener solidifies this release...and the band...as true marks of talent." [2]
Rating the album four stars at Indie Vision Music, Brody Barbour describes, "With multiple listens, however, I soon discovered this album plays out best as a greatest hits album, with all the best parts of Haste the Day placed within." [3] Jesse Striewski, awarding the album three stars by New Noise Magazine, says, "Like any Haste The Day album, this won’t appeal to everyone; but those who have been waiting for these guys to release new music should be able to appreciate it." [6] Assigning the album nine and a half stars at Jesus Wired, Topher P. states, "Coward is still a phenomenal effort with minimal flaws, if any at all." [5]
